In Six Small Squares

We meet on screen in six small squares To stay in touch, as each one shares What’s going on, the latest news; To do so, Zoom is what we use. We’re scattered now, so our routine Of monthly dates where we’d convene Has modified to just the talk – No lunch, museum, shop or walk. In six small squares, we can assess Who’s doing well or who’s a mess. We trade advice and give support And somehow help to hold the fort. We’ve met for almost forty years And our connection perseveres. Though age has caught us unawares, We stay the same in six small squares.

I think of Zoom as, "invasion of privacy" rather than a communication tool, but you have persuaded me that it is better to see people's face than a face mask! Aloha! Rico

How wonderful that you and your friends still meet after all these years! That doesn't happen very often. You are blessed! Blessings, Kim M

How cute this is, Ilene! My daughter and g'daughter use zoom all the time, but I don't even have a camera or a microphone on my pc (on purpose!). ~ Best regards // paul
